A lot of patience. My friend owns an abused cat, and it's simply ... really hard to get that cat to trust humans again... Funny thing about that cat is, she thinks my friend who gives her food is her servant. And I guess she was abused by a food-giver, so she often also tries to be spiteful and bite my friend when she gives her food. I think she's had that cat for years, and the cat has dropped the act a little bit, but I think she gets scratched for no reason (the cat will just jump on her and scratch for no reason) once in every week or so... But I think frequency is very very slowly dropping. If you just keep the claws clipped, it shouldn't be too much of a problem (although it still hurts a bit...) But well, clipping claws of abused cat is also very hard since sometimes they think you're trying to hurt them... You just have to have a lot of patience. Funny thing, the cat was actually very affectionate when my friend got pregnant, and never hurt the daughter. And that cat knows she's not well-liked by the husband of my friend. So she stays away from him (it's hard to like an animal that hurts the loved one, so I understand him). but I think the cat sort of understands that house is relatively safe, but still having the nightmares and attacks the weakest one (the one who gives her food) once in awhile... Hopefully it will stop in near future.

Put dry cat food in a bowl and let them eat. They will not overeat. Then, around 6:00 or so, put wet (canned) cat food out. Change or refill the bowl with food about twice a week. You can trust me. I've been a cat owner for 9 proud years.
To gain the trust of an abused cat, it is important to be patient, gentle, and consistent in your interactions with them. Provide a safe and quiet environment, offer treats and toys, and give them space to approach you on their own terms. Building a bond based on trust and understanding will take time, but with patience and love, the cat can learn to trust again.
No, I have never abused my cat.

It all depends on the cat itself, if a cat in Germany was abused it would sound different from a cat from the U.S. which was not abused, but if same physical condition and same species and same sex most likely not.
Cat and Dogs
Cats are very picky about the people they trust. Sometimes a cat's past can reflect on the attitude of the cat towards humans now. For say if the cat was beaten or abused in any way it will more than likely be scared or untrusting towards humans.
Talk to someone that you trust about it and get help.

You need to talk to him , play with them. If this doesn't work you need to look them in the eye as you talk to them.
